What We Talk About When We Talk About Rape

"This is a powerful and necessary book for the #MeToo era. In the last couple of years the media has focused on women’s testimonies of violation, harassment, molestation and abuse. This book goes deeper into the long aftermath of abuse, with its multi-layered and complex examination of mental. physical, social and spiritual trauma caused by the actions and choices of perpetrators. It re-centers the victim within the narrative, and recenters her too within a society which is geared towards disbelieving her, excusing the perpetrator and minimising his actions. This book is not just a personal testimony —it looks at many victims’ experiences and as such forms an incredibly moving tribute to the power of survivors to overcome what has been done to us."
